My novel has a steampunk world setting, so expect a lot of steam-powered technology as well as retro-looking futuristic inventions. Furthermore, there will be churches, secret organizations, and cults. So if you're a fan of LotM—which I have taken inspiration from btw—you will definitely like my novel. Also, this is my first attempt at writing a novel so you might find some mistakes here and there. Just know that I'm constantly trying to improve. Cheers!

The Deceitful One

After Bryan became a Transcendent, the refinement process for the mask, Deceit, had quickened exponentially. Moreover, he had been refining it for quite a long time, hence, just today he was able to completely refine this God-Level artifact!


Earlier today morning, when Bryan put on the mask, much to his astonishment, he realized that the mask had completely melded into his skin and had become one with him!


The God-Level artifact was completely bound to him. After having refined the artifact, he also got to know an additional crucial piece of information through it.


If he were to ever lose any of his body parts, the mask, Deceit, would be able to help him regrow it. However, the catch was that he had to use an equally tremendous amount of spiritual force in one go and not in different segments.


This would only be possible for him when he advanced to at least Rank 5 or Rank 6 Transcendent.
